Not too early to dispense Ted's grade for this draft:C-. The Haha pick raises it to a C-. Without that pick (which was a no-brainer ala the AR PICK),the score would be a D-. We also now why TT drafts so many WRs and bypasses needs. When you look at TT's draft history it's clear that WR is the only position for which he as a talent. So clearly TT wants to stick with what he knows...which is all he knows.

Sorry Ray -- it's impossible to give an accurate grade to a draft for three years. The so-called experts show over and over again they don't know what they're talking about. Are you joining that bunch?

BRP66 is the exact type of clown that caused me to quit the reader comments section. I checked in because of the draft and unfortunately find that things haven't changed. Oh well, I'm obviously not missing anything. By the way BRP, I've seen plenty of your posts the last couple of days (unfortunately), and any smarts you may have had have obviously evolved into a foul pustule atop your shoulders

Well obviously there is going to be some competition at WR. Perhaps Boykins' spot is not a given depending on what the draft picks can do. There is incredible upside to all three draft picks. The question may be how can you hang on to them long enough to develop on the practice squad without being scooped by another team.

Does anyone remember how many WRs they kept on the active roster 2010-2013?

Been in Florida for the winter and missed some of tiny (brain) ray's lamentable comments. Clearly the cold has sapped what few functioning cells he still has. The induhvidual clearly needs help, but care is so expensive these days.

I would have traded all 3 WR picks to move up to take one of the top 2 rated ILBs and then also have a shot to take a top-rated safety too. It's time to wonder if the inverse of TT learning from Wolf's regrets is true - if TT won't regret that he didn't get enough WRs for Rodgers, maybe instead he will regret not getting enough help for the D and for having a slightly less stellar batting average when it comes to drafting D-linemen and LBs. So we have Nelson, Cobb, Boykin, Dorsey, White, and three more picks, and a D that does not have enough playmakers. I will be happy to be wrong about all this...

Remember that Bradford projects as an ILB and there are returning players that are not too shabby. We have yet to see who they sign as street free agents and undrafted free agents.

Remember a lot of good players come from the lower rounds. Sometimes a big college pedigree and gaudy numbers mean nothing especially when we are being fed that stuff in the media by analysts and talking heads without the resources of a professional player personnel department.

The proof will be when they put on the pads, get coached up, and step out on the field against another team. It could take one or two years for these kids to develop so have some patience. These wide receivers may be Nelson and Cobbs replacements in a few years.

I actually think all of the offseason moves, including most of this draft has made the Packers a better team and they didn't have to improve much to have to have competed for a Super Bowl slot last year. We were the best team in the league (albeit by outscoring other teams) until Aaron Rodgers went down. So I'm optimistic. The bears reached with their first two picks - we didn't so........

All these people are what I like to refer to as football players. Micah Hyde types. They just make plays. Hyde could probably play wide receiver and running back at a respectable level, he is just a guy who loves to play the game which apparently is the same as these draft picks.

"All these players are what I like to refer to as football players," huh? I hadn't thought of that. I was hoping we'd draft some baseball players. Maybe a soccer player or two? A hockey player later on in the draft?

WTF does that mean they're "football players?" Of course they are. They're all "football players." It's the NFL.

I like the draft to, but not only is the saying, "he's just a football player," incredibly, incredibly stupid and offers absolutely zero insight, this isn't something YOU like to say, this is a stupid platitude offered up for years by almost ever pundit.

It is ridiculous to hear people complain about TT's drafting strategy. There is no question some of the picks were questionable, especially Richard Rodgers...but fans need to stop acting like this is an exact science. Great organizations miss on players EVERY SINGLE YEAR. For the most part, TT does a damn good job at building a team.

In addition, stop complaining about ILB! There is no question that we could have used an upgrade at the position but outside of Shazier and Mosley, who both were taken ahead of us, no other player was a can't miss prospect. I know all you Wisconsin Badger fans would've loved Borland, but he has huge question marks with that bum shoulder of his. Are guys like Preston Brown, Avery Williamson, Jeremiah George, Andrew Jackson, Will Smith, and Yawin Smallwood (the only ones taken in the draft) really the "answer at ILB? Get out of here! In fact, this may have been one of the weakest drafts in years for ILBs...only 8 were taken!! Guys like Max Bullough and Shayne Skov are undrafted free agents who we could easily target. You don't reach on players low on your draft board just because you have a need at that position.

All in all, I liked the draft. Like i said, I think Rodgers was a reach...but I think he could help on special teams. Ha Ha will make an immediate impact. Davonte Adams will be a quality WR with Rodgers dishing out passes. Thorton could be a potential x-factor in the middle with time...reminds me a lot of Corey Williams. I think Linsley could end up the best pick of this draft, and I wouldn't be surprised if he wins the starting job this year. Bradford, Abbrederis, and Janis were all VERY productive in college. Goodson is the type of raw DB prospect the Pack like to experiment with.

I will never say TT is perfect and he does miss on prospects each year, but I am very pleased with his track record and this team's success. In my opinion, another great year. Go Pack Go!

Some people think you have to get good draft grades from pundits to have a successful draft. I personally like to wait a year or two and see how many contributors there are from the draft. Like free agency, winning the draft gets you nothing. But winning the division gets you into the play offs.

Draft grades from pundits are meaningless, helping your team win is everything.

And wasting a pick on a poor ILB and passing on a good player who has the potential to contribute at another position is not responsible team building. And that will get you out of the playoffs and fired as a GM.
